Lan Mouse [WIP]

Goal of this project is to be an open-source replacement for tools like Synergy or Share Mouse on wayland compositors.

Very much alpha state

The protocol used for the virtual mouse driver is currently unstable and only supported by wlroots: wlr-virtual-pointer-unstable-v1

Currently the mouse moves in a circle when receiving a(ny) udp packet on port 42069.

TODOS:

• Capture the actual mouse events on the server side via a wayland client and send them to the client
• Mouse grabbing on some 1 pixel wide transparent window server side
• Merge server and client
• Keyboard support
• Scrollwheel and button support
• Clipboard support
• Graphical frontend (gtk?)

Security

Sending key and mouse event data over the local network might not be the biggest security concern but in any public network it's QUITE a problem to basically broadcast your keystrokes.

• There should probably be an encryption layer using DTLS below the application to enable a secure link
• The keys could be generated via the graphical frontend
